Get this wrong and customers leave remembering the washroom rather than the food. The good news is that you do not have to spend a fortune to avoid that.
Two things separate a restaurant washroom from any other. Hygiene is not just good practice, it is inspected, so filtration and touch-free operation carry more weight here than they do in an office. And the washroom is usually a door away from the dining room, so a dryer at the loud end of this range is heard at the tables.
Running cost is worth a look too. Power draw across this page varies more than five-fold, and in a site open seven days that difference is real money.
If filtration is the priority
Three models here carry a HEPA filter: the Dryflow Infinity at 72dB on 700W with a 10 year warranty, the Dyson Airblade V, and the JETBOX Blade, the only hands-in unit of the three.
If the washroom is near the tables
The Mitsubishi Jet Towel range is the quietest here by a clear margin. The Jet Towel Smart is 58dB and dries in 9 seconds; the Jet Towel Slim is 59dB and hands-in. Everything else on the page sits between 70dB and 79dB.
If it runs all week
The Diamond Dryers range draws 300W, the lowest on the page and roughly a fifth of the highest, with a 7 year warranty. Where the washroom is part of the look, the Dolphin Velocity fits behind the mirror and the Diamond range includes a rose gold finish.
